Terminal apparatus and method

Abstract

A terminal apparatus includes a memory configured to store preference information on a user, a display, and a controller. The controller is configured to identify an image selected by the user as a target image, and for each candidate spot selected based on the preference information from among a plurality of spots, control the display to display, as a representative image for the candidate spot, a spot image determined to be similar to the target image by a similar image search from among a plurality of spot images associated with the candidate spot.

1 . A terminal apparatus comprising:
 a memory configured to store preference information on a user;   a display; and   a controller,   wherein the controller is configured to:
 identify an image selected by the user as a target image; and 
 for each candidate spot selected based on the preference information from among a plurality of spots, control the display to display, as a representative image for the candidate spot, a spot image determined to be similar to the target image by a similar image search from among a plurality of spot images associated with the candidate spot. 
   
     
     
         2 . The terminal apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to identify, as the target image, an image selected by the user from among a plurality of images stored in the memory. 
     
     
         3 . The terminal apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 control the display to display a plurality of spot images each associated with any spot; and   identify, as the target image, a spot image selected by the user from among the plurality of spot images.   
     
     
         4 . The terminal apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to identify the target image and update, based on the target image, the preference information stored in the memory. 
     
     
         5 . A method performed by a terminal apparatus comprising a memory configured to store preference information on a user, a display, and a controller, the method comprising:
 identifying, by the controller, an image selected by the user as a target image; and   for each candidate spot selected based on the preference information from among a plurality of spots, controlling, by the controller, the display to display, as a representative image for the candidate spot, a spot image determined to be similar to the target image by a similar image search from among a plurality of spot images associated with the candidate spot.
